Rev.VirgilSuciu,LiturgicalAssistant 8202 E. Cactus Rd. Scottsdale, AZ 85260 (480) 991-3009 There are two ways, one of life and one of death, there is a great difference between the two ways (Didache). The earliest teaching of the Apostles begins with the clear distinction between the two ways of living the way of life and the way of death. Either a person is headed towards God, away from Him or against Him. The Lenten Prayer of St. Ephraim explains how vastly different the two ways are by detailing the consequences of each. O Lord and Master of my life do not give me the spirit of sloth, despondency, lust of power and idle talk. But give me rather the spirit of wholemindedness, humility, patience, and love. Yes, O Lord and King grant me to see my own sins and not judge my brothers and sisters; for You are blessed unto the ages of ages. Amen. The first four conditions which lead to death are sloth, despondency, lust of power and vain talk. Each has consequences which form an ever increasing fall into a deeper and deeper crevasse that leads further and further away from God.

Each condition gives birth to the next. Together they form a spiritual check list for ailments of the soul which lead to death. There are four principle conditions which lead to life, they are whole-mindedness, humility, patience and love. Wholeness opens the way which leads to God, Who is the source of life. The fruit of following the way of life is the unconditional loving of one another. THE WAY OF DEATH Sloth the root of all sin The word sloth or laziness is not being used in the sense of - I would rather be golfing than going to Church but, it refers to spiritual apathy and inactivity. In other words, there is a neglect of caring for ones spiritual life. One can in fact, even attend church, receive communion and say the Lords Prayer, while being apathetic spiritually if these actions are only superficial. It is that strange laziness and passivity of our entire being which always pushes us down rather than up which constantly convinces us that no change is possible and therefore desirable. It is in fact a deeply seated cynicism which to every spiritual challenge responds, What for? and makes our life one tremendous spiritual waste (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent). Spiritual sloth manifests itself as indifference towards the bible, coming to Church, prayer, the sacraments, holy confession and other people. It

becomes a force which is expressed as cynicism toward the Church, its leadership and parishioners. It essentially validates a conviction that everyone is a hypocrite and therefore, the Church is a not necessary. Why should I care about making personal changes, I can do whatever I want. Such a state is characterized by a spirit of negativism that is easily identified when we listen to how others speak. There is no hope, no faith, no God, only a dismal assessment of the world, people and especially the Church. Spiritual indifference leads to despondency suicide of the soul The consequence of a wasted spiritual life is a despondent soul. Despondence is the impossibility for man to see anything good or positive; it is the reduction of everything to negativism and pessimism . . . it is the suicide of the soul because when man is possessed by it he is absolutely unable to see the light and to desire it (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent).

The Two Ways , Contd. pg 2 The Two Ways On the Lenten Prayer of St. Ephraim Page 2 2 Despondency manifests itself in behaviors such as showing an unhealthy concern for the affairs of others and meddling. In psychological terms, a despondent soul has barrier issues because the painful consequence of neglecting the soul is artificially soothed by obsessing in the perceived problems of others. The most dangerous despondent soul is the one which thinks it is doing this on behalf of God and for all the right reasons. Any time a judgment is made about an individual, it is critical to evaluate why such an assessment is being made. In this state, a return to God is very difficult because of the darkening of the soul it no longer can see God nor desire Him. Despondency leads to a Lust of Power spiritual murder Once despondency has been created in the soul, the next consequence is to murder my brother or sister with condescending thoughts because I am above everyone else. The lust

of power is thus a fundamental depravity in my relationship with other beings, a search for their subordination to me. It may result as well in indifference, contempt, lack of interest, and respect (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent). The further down one falls into a crevasse away from God, the soul becomes more and more vainglorious. If God is not the Lord and Master of my life, then I become my own lord and master the absolute center of my own world, and I begin to evaluate everything in terms of my own needs, my ideas, my desires, and my judgments (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent). Typically, such a state is characterized by destructive behaviors directed towards hurting others. In marriages, spouses are at enmity with one another. Parents abuse children. Careers are marked by conflicts. Parishioners have contempt for one another, for priests and bishops. Clergy mandate rules that no one can follow and no one else does ministry in the Church. Idle Talk the power of sin Idle talk does not refer to meaningless, unedifying talk, in the prayer of St. Ephraim, it has a definite purpose, and it is a power which seeks the destruction of others. At the bottom of the crevasse which leads to death is to use speech as a weapon. Instead of the tongue being employed to praise God and build up one

another, it utters malicious comments, slander and spends hours in gossip. If one decides to continue in this way, spiritual death is its end. With God however, all things are possible. This final state can only be corrected by a deep sense of repentance, compunction, confession and by Gods grace. THE WAY OF LIFE Whole-mindedness is found in Christ Wholeness is a gift from God that results when one turns to Him in prayer, seeking selfknowledge THROUGH THE ACT OF CONFESSION. Christ restores wholeness in us and He does so by restoring in us the true scale of values by leading us back to God (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent). This radical change is seen when defensiveness, which was employed as a means of closing ones eyes to personal sins, is replaced with openness to correction, and a heart ready to be changed by Gods grace. The first step is willingly becoming obedient to God and acknowledging Him as the Lord and Master of my life. Standing before Christ, bringing out that which was hidden from us, by Gods grace we confess to Christ through a priest. God knows our sins; it is us, who by bringing sin out before ourselves that begins the process of change. The priest stands next to us, and becomes our advocate and advisor so that we may be

strengthened not to return to the way of death again. Humility the first fruit of wholeness Humility is a divine virtue, as such, it is something which comes from God, not us. Virtues are gifts received from God as a result of our union with Him. Virtue is expressed in personal traits; however, it has a divine source that is allowed to be seen in us following repentance. Christ said, Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take up My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart; and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is good and My burden is light. [Mt. 11:28-30] It (humility) is above everything else the victory of truth in us, the elimination of all lies in which we usually live (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent). Christ restores wholeness which leads to humility because now Christ is acting in and through our actions. Personal awareness of the wounds caused by sin allows for Christ to come and make his abode in our hearts. This is why many after completing a confession feel freedom from a great burden and lightness in their soul. The soul is freed from restlessness that was caused by living in a state of estrangement from God and our true selves. Christ Who is Light, reveals sin so that it can

The Two Ways, from page 1 Page 3 3 Parish Council Update This years Lenten Journey is well underway and it is a busy time at Assumption. In addition to the regular Liturgy service on Sundays, there are many additional services held weekly throughout the Lenten season. Please review the monthly calendar for April, included in this newsletter, for details on when these services are scheduled and make plans to attend as many of the services as possible. As we go to press, plans are being finalized for several dinners to be held at Assumption Church during the Lenten season. The Annual Palm Sunday Luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, April 20. Plans are also underway to serve dinner following the Pascha midnight service. Please watch for details about these dinners in upcoming weekly bulletins and in the Community Center. Our annual Saturday of Lazarus pancake breakfast & palmcross making event will be held on Saturday, April 19, in the Community Center following services. This is a great family event and all are welcome so please make plans to join us. The Parish Council continues to work diligently on the church repair project. As reported in late 2007, we have engaged the services of a forensic architect group, Gervasio & Associates, to assist with determining the extent of the problems as well as to provide recommendations for fixing these problems. We are currently awaiting the details of this groups recommendations and estimates for the needed

repairs before we finalize a course of action. We are pleased to announce that $50,000 from the proceeds of the 2007 Greek Festival were used to pay down the church mortgage. As of February 18, the remaining mortgage balance totaled approximately $110,961. Icon contributions continue to be received; as of February 18, the total contributions received were $201,540. Please mark your calendars and make plans to attend the Spring General Assembly meeting which will be held on Sunday, May 4, immediately following Liturgy. All stewards of Assumption are invited to this important meeting. More information will be mailed to your homes in the next few weeks. Estelle Stell, Parish Council Secretary Stewardship As of 3/17/08 Total Stewards.......247 Total Pledged.. $269,824 Stewardship Paid.......$47,119 Mortgage Balance......$107,226.91 The Two Ways, cont from pg 2 be healed. The world is no longer a dark place; Gods love and goodness become our life and the disparity caused by sin goes away. Patience God is patient because he sees the depth of all that exists The next divine virtue which is the fruit of humility is patience. The closer we come to God, the more patient we grow and the more we reflect that infinite respect for all beings which

is the proper quality of God (Fr. Schmemann, Great Lent). This virtue only sees the good in others and with a discerning eye, understands others in light of having personally experienced Gods patience and His loving us unconditionally despite wrong decisions and sins. Respect for others is the highest form of love one can give. Grace is increased in us by expanding our ability to affirm the value of others. This is expressed as being present when someone is talking to us. It is seen when our own agenda of tasks that I would like to accomplish in a day are quickly abandoned when the needs of others demand our attention. In this state, our life becomes a source of life to others. We become a positive force that others seek to be near and engaged. Learning, spiritual growth, renewal, illumination, discernment are all fruit of increasing Gods patience and grace in our lives. Love the greatest of all virtues God is love. The last line of the prayer reads: Yes, O Lord and King grant me to see my own sins and not to judge my brothers and sisters; for You are blessed unto the ages of ages. Amen. The goal of the spiritual life, of fasting and prayer is to love one another with the love with which we have been loved. As we grow in our relationship with God, we grow in our relationships with others. Lenten disciplines that

lead to isolation and alienation from others are misdirected efforts. Love that is life-giving to others is primarily manifested in ones ability not to judge others. This is possible when we have an awareness of our own sinfulness and errors. The last thing we do before singing Christ is risen is to forgive one another. It is the first and last action of Great and holy Lent because it is indeed the test of whether or not we are truly His disciples and following the WAY OF LIFE. In Christs love, Fr.

Shannon David & Joanne Lewandowski SUNDAY SCHOOL March was an incredible month for our classes! The teachers were amazed at the amount of students who came prepared with an icon on the

Sunday of Orthodoxy. The students participated in the icon procession with a great deal of reverence and respect. We are truly proud of your children! On that same Sunday, many children were able to receive Holy Communion with their godparents as we celebrated Godparents Sunday. Thank you to all who made the effort to get your children together with their godparents. In April, we will be hosting some of the youth speeches for the St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival. Assumption will host the southwest regional speeches on April 13 at 3:00. If possible, plan to attend the speeches with your children and support our young speakers. Its a great way to encourage younger children to speak publicly about their faith. Once again, your children came home from class with an OCMC mission coin box. They should be asking for ways which they can "earn" money to be put into their coin box. We have been spending time in class discussing prayer, fasting, and almsgiving during the lenten season. Please encourage your children during this time to place the needs of others before their own desires. We will collect the boxes following Pascha Sunday. On April 25, we will host our annual Holy Friday Retreat. The retreat will be held from

10AM-3PM. Please sign-up with your childs sunday school teacher so that we may plan accordingly with food and activities. Fr. Andrew will have letters available for excused school absence. Of course, there wont be class on Pascha! Kalo Pascha! Presvytera Andrea Isnt Springtime in Arizona wonderful? Our tots had a fantastic time playing at the Train Park on one of our beautiful, sunny days. Of course, we had to ride the train and the carousel...some of us rode multiple times! While the kids played, the moms enjoyed visiting and sharing some ideas and thoughts about "kid friendly" Lenten meals. Another day we used our "bubble wands" and had as much fun chasing the bubbles as we did making them. We will spend time in April preparing for Holy Week and Easter. We will not meet on Holy Wednesday, April 23. Hopefully, we will see one another at the afternoon Holy Unction service. On Wednesday, April 30, we will meet at Cactus Park for our annual Easter Egg Hunt! Kali Anastasi Presvytera Andrea Moms N Tots April 4-6 Regional Youth Retreat with Metropolis Youth Director

The Assumption m

inistry, ROC (Rest On Christ), is scheduled for a visit on the third Saturday of each mon th. Yes, Adobe is a real prison. The boys ages range from 12-18. All are there because they have brok en the law--some more seriously than others. While at Adobe, they attend school and various activ ities. They live a very structured life. Each boy has a sad or tragic story. However, they are given the chance to straigh ten out their lives while at Adobe. If not, at age 18, they will not go home. They will be sent to a n adult prison. Our Lord is The True Light and Hope for all of us. In Matthew 25:34-35, He comma nds us to feed the hungry, visit the sick, clothe the naked, AND TO COME UNTO THOSE IN PRISON. Jesu s went on to say that when we follow this commandment, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me. It is our hope and prayer to be used by God to show our boys the Light and Love of Christ. It is so evident that they are hungry for the love of God and fellow humans. We are truly blessed to have become friends with our Adobe boys. They are precious to us. So often, we arrive at Adobe keenly aware of our unworthiness to help them. Yet, by Gods grace and the work of the Ho ly Spirit, one or two boys always opens up to us. We are blessed to witness a beginning of a change of attitude. And, with His Amazing Grace, we end our visit, leaving with joy and a glow in our hea rts. After all, we and they are seeking a much better TOMORROW. Rennie Nicholson Page 10 10 Page 11 11

The second excursion was on Friday, March 7, to Fort McDowell Casino. Those who went were treated to a great lunch, and everyone had a wonderful time. These seniors believe watching the world isnt near as much fun as being a part of an activity with their brothers and sisters in Christ!
